General Discussion / How active is VATSIM?
« on: June 20, 2020, 08:12:11 AM »
Im new here, wanting to do VATSIM for a while to gain some general understanding of ATC operations as I study for my pilot's license. So far Ive passed the S1 exam on the VATUSA Division site and requested a transfer to my local ARTCC. I got a randomly generated welcome email, but that's it. I can't log into that ARTCC. I tried the forgot password link, but that didnt send me an email either. I know that it can take some time to populate the info through the network, could that be the reason? Its been about 24 hours already.

The Classroom (Controller Tips) / stupid noob questions
« on: June 16, 2020, 11:45:15 AM »
Hi everyone, I'm totally new to all of this. I've decided to get some ATC time on VATSIM because I want to study for my actual Private Pilot's License and I think this will give me a much better understanding of what's happening at airports in general (knowing that some things are slightly different due to being a sim). I've studied for the S1 test, but I only get 78% the first time because there were several questions not covered in the CBTs at all.

But, I've also downloaded VRC and was able to connect it to my VATSIM login....and now I have no idea what the heck I'm doing. Other sites are talking about needing to download other resources and POF or area files, but then some places are saying I can't see those files until after I pass the S1 exam. So, I'm really not sure what I'm doing at this point. Any help would be appreciated.

I'll edit this to say that I found the files for my local ARTCC, but I have no idea which files I need to install. (https://www.zabartcc.org/files).
